Owing to our small family size, 2 of us, we bought the lowest end in the microsoft range thinking it would be sufficient for us. However we realised that most of the recipe books contain items that can be baked and are also lower in oil, hence low cal too ! Now we regret buying one without an oven option. Budget wise its not too much of a difference, but we did not want a complicated one as wanted one just for heating. On using we realised theres a whole lot more that we could have done in the kitchen had we got one with more features.
So next time youre buying one make sure at least that option is available. Also, take a demo on actual cooking if you are first time cook, which I was !!
All the best and happy buying.
